Boston, MA: David Godine Publishers, 1993.

First edition. Thin quarto, original cloth. Inscribed by Patrick Modiano on the half title page. Fine in a fine dust jacket.

"This lovely book suggests the delicacy and strength of an eggshell." Publishers Weekly "The stylish watercolour illustrations are lively, conveying the warmth and the quiet wit of the text." School Library Journal "What particularly engages is the way Modiano captures memories of childhood: fragmented, misunderstood, but glowing in the crucible of recollection" (Booklist).
